Introduction AXXESS® ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 VOICE PROCESSOR The system Voice Processor can be used for any of the following applications: • Voice Mail: This application handles all calls that are directed to voice mail (other than through the Message Notification/Retrieval application) by subscribers and non-subscribers. Callers will hear the main company greeting, followed by a menu of available options. Stations can forward or transfer calls directly to their mailbox.
PAGE 21
AXXESS® Introduction ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 • Record-A-Call: This feature allows a station user to record an ongoing call in a voice mailbox message. When a station user enters the Record-A-Call feature code, the system places a call to the station’s assigned Record-A-Call application. When the application answers, the system sets up a conference call with the station’s Record-A-Call mailbox. If programmed, the mailbox plays a greeting to indicate that the recording is in progress.

Administrator Procedures AXXESS® ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 INTRODUCTION During database programming, any Inter-Tel phone can be designated as a system administrator and/or a voice mail administrator. All administrator stations should be equipped with display phones to show system alarms and to make programming easier. This section gives you all of the instructions for using the Administrator Features of the system and voice mail. • System Administrator Features begin below.
PAGE 25
AXXESS® Administrator Procedures ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 PLACING THE SYSTEM IN NIGHT MODE An administrator station can place the local node in day or night mode. The day/night mode determines which lists the system will use for trunk access, toll restriction, etc. Night mode also affects the night transfer relays on the Options Card (OPC). The relays are activated when the system is placed in night mode. See SPECIFICATIONS in the Installation Manual for details.
PAGE 26
Administrator Procedures AXXESS® ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 SETTING SYSTEM DATE AND TIME NOTE: Software versions 8.2 and later support the automatic Daylight Saving Time feature. To enable the automatic Daylight Saving Time feature, the Enable Daylight Saving Time flag in Database Programming must be set to Yes. In systems running software versions 8.1 and earlier, you must reset the system time whenever Daylight Saving Time begins and ends.
PAGE 27
AXXESS® Administrator Procedures ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 SETTING NETWORK DATE AND TIME Occasionally, the network time or date needs to be reset (for example, when the system is defaulted or for daylight-saving time). Any administrator can change the date and time that appears on all display phones and in the SMDR reports in the network. The day of the week is automatically calculated and set by the system when the date is entered.
PAGE 28
Administrator Procedures AXXESS® ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 SYNCHRONIZING NETWORK TIME Administrators can synchronize the minutes past the hour across the network without changing the hour. This is useful when the nodes are in different time zones. NOTE: If a node's time is off by more than 30 minutes, synchronizing the minutes may cause the hour to change. Also, network time is automatically synchronized every day at 12:30 AM (00:30), using the time setting on the node with the lowest number.
PAGE 29
AXXESS® Administrator Procedures ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 Entry to the Database Programming feature at the administrator station can be protected using a password. A password would prevent unauthorized users from altering the system database. NOTE: Passwords are very important to system security. Without sufficient password protection, the telephone system database is vulnerable to unauthorized access.

PAGE 53
AXXESS® Administrator Procedures ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 MANAGING SYSTEM AND NETWORK ALARMS To allow one administrator to monitor multiple nodes, the system provides both system alarms and network-wide alarms. System Alarms The system’s Alarm Reporting feature detects equipment failures. If there is a system failure that affects service, a major alarm is displayed at all affected phones.
PAGE 54
Administrator Procedures AXXESS® ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 TO RESPOND TO A MINOR ALARM FROM ANY ALARM DISPLAY STATION: 1. When a minor alarm indication appears, write down the alarm information. 2. While on hook, clear the alarm by entering the Clear System Alarm feature code (9850) or the Clear Network Alarm feature code (9851). The display shows SYSTEM (or NETWORK) ALARM CLEARED. 3. Take the appropriate action as indicated in the following table.
PAGE 55
AXXESS® Administrator Procedures ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 Clearing Alarms An administrator can clear a network-wide alarm on the local node only or on every node in the network. To clear an alarm, you can use either the administrator feature codes or the menu buttons on your phone. TO USE THE FEATURE CODES TO CLEAR ALARMS: Enter the appropriate feature code to clear the alarm.
PAGE 56
Administrator Procedures AXXESS® ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 When alarms are generated: • The highest priority alarm is placed in the front of the queue, regardless of when lower priority alarms are generated. For example, if A114 (priority 3) and A116 (priority 4) are currently in the queue, but A119 (priority 2) is generated, A119 is placed first in the queue. • Alarms with the same priority level are placed in the queue based on the time the alarm was generated.
PAGE 57
AXXESS® Administrator Procedures ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004 Networked systems containing nodes that are running version 8.1 or earlier require special attention because not all nodes will have an alarm queue. In networks such as this, a broadcast message is sent only when the most recent network alarm is cleared. When the message is sent, that network alarm is cleared on all nodes in the system. Once the alarm is cleared, any pre-8.
